Sam writes:

In light of England’s well-documented opening batsman problems, I thought I would canvas opinion within my household regarding a return for Taunton’s favourite son.

Bo reflects wistfully on the early promise of an uncomplicated West Country left-hander with minimal foot movement but tons of talent.

What a cute little cat

‘137. Lord’s. June 12 2001,’ he appears to be thinking.

Bo’s nostalgia turns to pain and anger as I inform him of the score in Bridgetown.

WITH THE EYES OF SATAN

‘117 all out?’ he appears to be saying. ‘Come back, Banger. All is forgiven.’

    Is Bo the spawn of Strausscat? There’s a definite resemblance…

    OMG THE CUTENESS.

    In the second picture he is clearly thinking “I disapprove of this book”.

    Also, a good variety of interior design patterns and textures going on there.

    That’s not Monty. That’s Bo.

    Monty is currently on sabbatical.

    Is Monty being up-graded to a dog by Giles Clarke?

    Pretty sure Monty could outwit Giles Clarke if the latter approached him menacingly with an upgrade in mind.

    And Monty’s dense.
